SES: MX1 Wins Contract Extension with Leading Content Distribution Company Beta Film

SES S.A. (Euronext Paris:SESG) (LuxX:SESG) announced today that Beta
Film Ltd., one of the leading international operating distributers of
television, home video and new media content, has extended its existing
service contract with MX1, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SES.

This new long-term contract extends and expands the existing agreement,
which began in 2009, and covers a wide range of services, including
content, picture, data and meta-data management. Beta Film uses the
innovative MX1 360 platform which bundles all MX1 media services and
allows customers to manage and distribute content on a single, hybrid
cloud-based platform.

"The renewed long-term relationship with Beta Film is once again a solid
example that MX1 can serve and satisfy the widest and most
differentiated scale of customer requirements, not only in broadcasting
but also in the highly challenging international licensing business",
said Christoph Muehleib, SES Vice President Sales and Marketing
responsible for ASTRA and MX1 in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

"MX1 and its integrated workflow enables us to respond to customer
requests faster and more efficiently, and to target and tailor the
distribution of our digital video content to the exact needs of linear,
on-demand or IP-based platforms", said David Kratz, Managing Director of
Beta Film GmbH in Munich.

differentiated and scalable GEO-MEO offering worldwide, with more than
50 satellites in Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) and 12 in Medium Earth
Orbit (MEO). SES focuses on value-added, end-to-end solutions in four
key market verticals (Video, Enterprise, Mobility and Government). It
provides satellite communications services to broadcasters, content and
